connect with the Cumberland Valley,
which will give Cumberland and the coal
and lumber from West Virginia an outlet
to Philadelphia aud New York over q CON-
peting line thirty-five to forty miles nearer
than by Huntington, Pa, or Baltimore.
Only 81, O0O, 900 of capital would he re-
quired to build and equip the road, and
Jointly with the parties who built the
Piedmont and Cumberland road, Western
and New York capitalists have expressed
their willingness to find the funds. The
movement is entirely independent of the
canal. The route, found by careful sur
vev, is so much better than expected that
the interested paeties feel they would be
losing time and money to try 10 acquire
the canal Indeed, we claim our building
would not hurt the canal.
1.-The attitude of the Baltimore & Ohio
will be that OF decided hostility; natural
" so, as il has been its traditional policy
for forty years to oppose every approach TO
Baltimore, or any railroad even entering
MARYLAND, which it could rot control.
But its opposition viii avail nothing; the
new line lies north of the Potomac river
and too far and too difficult for it 10 tear
up the traC kS, as in the case of the Pied
mont 4 Cumberland Company. Besides,
il is believed by capitalists who want TO
invest money in railroads in Maryland
that the State of Maryland and the courts
will no longer permit the T. & o. to carry
on its opposition to new lines by force OF
violence No, this policy is unworthy Of
the B. x o. and the State. Then, again,
Baltimore and the State Of Maryland are
vitality interested in having another outlet
TO the West and Southwest, and will
fairly encourage it. The city owns
the Western Maryland Road; the building
of the gap covered by the Baltimore and
Western will make it paying institution,
rs il will get large share OF the freight
coming from the Piedmont and Cumher-
land road and the central portion OF West
Virginia besides fair share Of the through
business from the West. 1t will be seen
by looking Mt the map that in order to give
Baltimore this new line to the West and
Southwest, it is only necessary to build
the gaps between HagerstOwn and Cum
berland aud the end OF the West Virginia
Central tracks, now i'll Tucker county, w.
Va, and Charleston, w. Va, and this
will he done ut an early day, when Balti-
more and the State will enjoy another
western and southwestern outlet
"The course of this new line will he
about one-iOurth of the cost of the Balti-
more and Ohio or Pennsylvania railroad to
the Ohio river. The Baltimore and West
ern Company, however, and the parties in
tereStcd in it, do not wish to. nor do they
believe building their line will, iniure the
Baltimore and Ohio, but they know it will
benefit Baltimore, and be good paying
enterprise They make no war upon any
competing lue, and have none but the
best of feeling for all railroads and parties
interested in them. The believe that
there will be enough work for both the Il.
& o. and their company; indeed for even
another line, considering what other cities
not so large ~ Baltimore, nor so favOrahly
located, have in the way of railroad con-
nectiOnS."

A NEW LINE.

The certificate of Incorporation Of the
Baltimore and Western Railway Company
was deposited in the State Executive De
partmcut at Annapolis last week, rs has
been stated. Henry C.. Davis, :. l.. Il
kinS and Others, of the West Virginia Cen
trail Railway Company, are among the in
corporltors. One OF these gentlemen
Yesterday gave some important statements
concerning this railway, which it is pro-
posed To build from Cumberland to lIagCrs
town, connecting there with the Western
Maryland road to Baltimore. He says:
'The distance from Cumberland TO Bal
timOre by the new road, via the Western
Maryland, will be 16S miles, four miles
less than by the Baltimore AMI Ohio rail.
road. This line will give Cumberland
another outlet to tidewater, and, in connec-
ton with the extension Of the West Viz
gnia Central to Charleston, the capital
of West Virginia, will give Baltimore
another line TO the West The distance from
Baltimore by the projected line and its con-
nectiOnS in West Virginia 10 Point Pleas
ant, on the Ohio river, is only twenty
miles longer than the +. x .. railroad to
Parkersburg. The country north Of the
Potomac is richer than the country south,
and can maintain q railroad better from
local business alone. There is 4 large dis
trict of country in Pennsylvania, nearly -
miles long and 80 miles broad, stretching
from the Maryland line north, and which
has 10 other railroad communication, that
will be tributary To this new line.
The local business, considering. the iron
ore, lumber and agricultural products
will pay the interest on the Investment.
not to speak of the through bust
ness. BY this line Baltimore will reach
the VIRGIN coal, iron and timber districts Of
West Virginia, which are almost ineNhaus-
uble AT Charleston it will connect with
the Newport News and Mississippi Valley
system, which will reach the Southern and
Southwestern States. This we think an
important thing for Baltimore. At Point
Pleasant. on the Ohio river, it will connect
with several roads, reaching Chicago, st.
Louis, Columbus and Cincinnati. While
Boston has twelve prominent railroads
cCntering there, st. Louis fifteen, and
Chicago eighteen or nineteen, Baltimore,
with her population of about half million
her wealth and grand natural facilities, has
but two.
IAN accurate survey OF this new line has
been made, and the maximum grade is
found to be but eighty feet to the mile.
There will be only two tunnels, Of eleven
hundred feet each. From Hancock to
hagerstown the line is easily constructed,
running through rich agricultural cOun-
try. At HagerstOwn the line will also

tile establishments themselves. Others
will turn their attention to law and other
professions, and others may enter the
political field. The familiarity with bust
ness, acquaintance with men and knowl-
edge of the ways of the world gained in
such work is invaluable in almost any
calling in life.
Commercial travellers and the work they
do are often not as much appreciated as they
should be. There is no work that requires
more energy and grit and push than this.
The timid vaeillating and unenergetic man
could no more make living as drummer
than he could by feeding on air. Before he
WAS snubbed half dozen times he would
quit the work, saying that it was not his
forte" The successful drummer must
be as brave as lion. He must take hold
of bis work with an energy that knows no
failing. must have something of the per
sistence of the bulldog told of by EGGLEs-
TON: OFF Bull onct takes holt,
all the yarth can't make him

faces of the fine looking crowd of men that
paraded our streets yesterday, determine
ton and vim could he seen written promi-
nently. There is no calling, perhaps, that
has as many temptations surrounding it as
that of commercial traveller. The man
who can succeed in the face of all snubs
and discouragements, and if in addition to
this he passes almost daily through the
fierce fires OF temptation unscathed, de-
serves to be thought well OF by the people.
